The following updates were released to the Kentik platform for Synthetics during May 2026.
Features
- Redesigned Tests page: The Synthetics Tests page now consolidates Test Control Center functionality with an enhanced admin table (sorting, filtering, customizable columns), health timeline sparklines, bulk pause/resume and label editing, and configurable time ranges (1 hour to 30 days).
- Path View table view: New MTR-style table view for synthetic test path results, with hop-by-hop RTT, packet loss, ASN, geolocation data, and CSV export.
Bug Fixes
- Observation Deck crash fix: Fixed a crash in the Observation Deck when synthetic tests are not configured.
- Agent alert API fix: Fixed PUT/DELETE failures by passing IDs as strings, and agent alerts now default to active when created.
- Path View trace merging: Path View now merges traces across timestamp buckets so probes from all agents are displayed, especially for longer-frequency tests.
